This agreement applies when you register a domain name through SimplePeek. It supplements the SimplePeek Terms of Service. Domain registration is an optional add-on to a paid SimplePeek plan, billed separately on an annual subscription basis.
SimplePeek is not itself an ICANN-accredited registrar. We facilitate registration through a domain partner that is accredited or operates under an accredited registrar. When you complete a domain purchase through us, we forward your registrant details to that partner, which submits the registration to the appropriate registry. You become the registrant of record for the domain. SimplePeek manages renewals, billing, and DNS on your behalf so you do not have to log in to the partner directly.
We may change our domain partner over time. The partner change does not affect your ownership or your rights as registrant. Where the partner has its own registration agreement that ICANN requires you to accept, we will surface it during the purchase flow or link to it from your dashboard.
ICANN requires accurate registrant contact details for every registered domain: legal name, postal address, telephone number, and email. You must provide correct details and keep them up to date. You may update them at any time from the Domains page in your dashboard. Providing materially false information, or failing to respond to verification requests within 15 days, can result in suspension or cancellation of the domain by the registrar or registry.
Your registrant information is shared with our domain partner, the registry that runs the top-level domain (such as Verisign for .com), and any escrow service required by ICANN. It is also used to publish or generate WHOIS records as described below.
ICANN requires registrars to publish certain registrant data in the WHOIS directory. SimplePeek enables WHOIS privacy by default for every domain purchased through us, where the partner and registry support it. When privacy is enabled, public WHOIS lookups display a forwarding contact instead of your home address and phone number, and forwarded inquiries are routed to your registrant email.
WHOIS privacy is not available for every TLD. For TLDs that do not support it, we will tell you before you complete the purchase, and your registrant details will appear in WHOIS. Some legal processes (subpoenas, ICANN- required disclosure, registry policies) may require us or our partner to disclose your real registrant information regardless of WHOIS privacy.
ICANN publishes a list of rights and responsibilities that apply to every domain registrant. Read the Registrants' Benefits and Responsibilities and Registrants' Educational Materials. Those documents describe your rights to transfer, renew, and modify your domain, and the obligations of any registrar that holds it.
Domains registered through SimplePeek are billed annually. Your card on file is automatically charged about 30 days before each renewal date so the registration does not lapse. We send a renewal reminder email before each charge.
You can disable auto-renew at any time from the Domains page in your dashboard. When auto-renew is off, your domain remains active through the end of the year you have already paid for, then expires. Once a domain expires, it enters the registry's standard grace and redemption windows. Recovery during those windows usually involves a redemption fee that we cannot waive.
You may transfer your domain to another ICANN-accredited registrar at any time, subject to a 60-day lock that ICANN imposes on newly registered or recently transferred domains. To start a transfer, request your transfer authorization (EPP) code from the Domains page in your dashboard. We will provide the code and unlock the domain for transfer within five days of your request, in line with ICANN's Transfer Policy.
Transferring a domain out of SimplePeek does not refund the unused portion of the registration year. The new registrar typically requires you to add one year of registration during the transfer; that fee is paid to the new registrar and we do not control it.
When you register a domain through us, we configure DNS to point the domain at your SimplePeek site by default. If you want to point the domain elsewhere, you can move DNS hosting to your preferred provider by changing the nameservers from the Domains page or transferring the domain out entirely. SimplePeek does not currently offer a custom-DNS-record editor for domains we manage.
The annual price displayed at purchase is the price you will pay each year the domain is renewed, subject to changes in the registry's wholesale pricing. If a registry raises wholesale prices for a TLD, we may pass the increase through to renewals with at least 30 days notice. You can disable auto-renew before the change takes effect to opt out.
Domain registrations are non-refundable once registered. The registration fee is paid out to the registry and the registrar and cannot be recovered. See our Refund Policy for full details.
We may suspend or cancel a domain registration if we are required to by ICANN, by the registry, by law enforcement, or by a valid legal order, or if the domain is being used in violation of our Acceptable Use Policy. If your SimplePeek subscription lapses, you keep ownership of any domain you registered through us and can manage it (cancel auto-renew, retrieve your transfer code) from a read-only version of the dashboard until the registration expires or you transfer it out.
SimplePeek does not warrant that any specific domain is or will remain available, that a registry will accept a registration, or that a domain will be free of third-party claims. Trademark and other intellectual property disputes about a domain name are between you and the complaining party. ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS) apply to most generic top-level domains.
We may update this agreement to reflect ICANN policy changes, partner changes, or operational improvements. Continued use of SimplePeek for domain registration after changes are posted means you accept the updated agreement.
